metro ethernet

[damocles13]

I have a T1 I'm wanting to get rid of and replace it with a Metro Ethernet link. What I have is an Actelis ML628 Metro Ethernet device that is being fed with Fiber from the Telco; then the ME device, with copper, feeds a Cisco 3745 router. I cannot get these devices to communicate. I have a co-worker at the other location and we can ping our respective laptops; so we have communication between the two points. I think it may well be in the configuration of the router. Can anyone help me figure this one out?
Thanks...

Metro ethernet is an ethernet handoff from the provider. You should be connecting it to your core switch and not your router.

Is there a certain configuration I need to program the port on the core switch?

What kind of switch is it and what are its capabilities?

Cisco Catalyst 4500 series, "4507 R" .

Is the Metro Ethernet point-to-point or multi-point?

Does the Metro Ethernet use the same IP address subnet as your LAN? If not, you will need to use a router or bridge to deal with the IP address difference. Have you talked to the service provider?

Yes, I can make the IPs whatever we need them to be. It is point to point. The service provider is as useful as a flat tire during a hail storm. That is why I'm here "hat in hand" asking for help.

I tried going to Actelis' website to look for documents, but all I got was this: "To receive product and solutions materials you must be a partner, customer or join our mailing list for approval."

So I guess they think they are something special!

You might want to contact Actelis tech support yourself for help.
